AWCEO DHC2 20251031 AER002 PAGG PANA PABE 055 - JoaoPaz - 10-31-2025

AER002 – Supply Flight Report (Leg 2)
Route: Kwigillingok (PAGG) → Napakiak (PANA)
Aircraft: DHC-2 Beaver
Time: 16:40 – 17:24 AKDT
Hi guys! Today I departed Kwigillingok under low clouds, with the ceiling at roughly 1,500 feet and light mist drifting over the tundra. Beautiful sights!
The Beaver climbed just above the layer about mid-flight, showing a soft sea of clouds and the blue skies above. 
Descent into Napakiak was back through the grey, the river barely visible until short final.
A quiet but vital flight, bringing medicine and mail down the Kuskokwim.

AER002 – Supply Flight Report (Leg 3)
Route: Napakiak (PANA) → Bethel (PABE)
Aircraft: DHC-2 Beaver
Time: 174:38 – 17:49 AKDT
Short final leg of the day: Napakiak to Bethel - you could see Bethel's lights as soon as you climbed above the rooftops!
The Beaver handled the damp, heavy air beautifully - it sure was born for these places!
Touched down in Bethel, ending this 2nd chapter of the AER25 relief operations.
